PolishLinux.org - in search of partners
Hello everyone,
I hope some of you already know the Linux vortal PolishLinux.org. We are a free-software vortal with focus on providing decent information about the most popular GNU/Linux and BSD distros out there. Cooperating with GetGnuLinux.org and Nuxified.org we are on a good way to create a group of websites every newbie Linux user should visit
Ok, that's enough of self-promotion. Here is the main part: As we describe in detail 18 operating systems (and a few new ones are coming soon), we need to make sure the content is always up-to-date so that our reader is not misleaded with out-dated information. Cutting a long story short, we are looking for a few people would would like to cooperate with us to improve the content of the website. We mainly look for maintainers of the following sections: openSUSE, Fedora, Arch Linux, Xandros, MEPIS, DesktopBSD, PC-BSD and Aurox.
The responsibilities of a mainainer cover updating the distro description when a new release is out, as well as constantly improving the quality of the section (by providing links for latest reviews or other kinds of content suitable for the section). As we are a community vortal, obviously we are talking about volunteer work here.
To cut the questions that are going to appear: we do not wish to compete with Distrowatch
- it's a totally different projeect with different goals. We aim to provide comprehensive and practical information about the leading open-source systems, as well as a step-by-step guide how to install, configure and use GNU/Linux. We don't want to cover all OS-es, neither we want to provide news about these systems (osnews is doing pretty good at this, no need to duplicate it). Hope it answered some of your questions. If you have any more, don't hestitate to comment here or on the website.
A few important links for the end, so that you know what I'm talking about:
- PolishLinux.org - the distro chooser - a quiz helping you to choose the right distro for the start
- PolishLinux.org - the features comparison - interactive comparison table of leading Linux and BSD systems (includes things like performance, security, installation, localization, etc)
- PolishLinux.org forum (on nuxified.org) - discussions about the future of the vortal
- GetGNULinux.org - a friendly project - learn what Linux is and why it is worth using
Best regards,
Borys Musielak
